Mammootty on stage!

If Mohanlal has proved himself on stage with plays like Karnabharam and more recently with Chayamukhi, can Mammootty be far behind?

Mammootty is going on stage to perform as Bheeman, culled out of M T Vasudevan Nair’s famous novel Randaamuzham.

It will be directed by T K Rajeev Kumar and Pramod Payyannoor. The play will be about 45 minutes and Mammootty will also do the roles of Yudhistiran and Arjunan.

Bheeman will be sponsored by Malayala Manorama, the leading newspaper in the state. It may sound coincidental but Mammootty’s play is going to be staged on Friday October 31 at the LULU centre, Trichur, where Mohanlal premiered his Chayamukhi!
